Wirepath NST-162-500-WH Speaker Wire 500 Ft White

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-162-500-WH is a 500-foot spool of 16-gauge, 2-conductor speaker wire packaged in a nestbox format for clean, tangle-free pulls. Designed for non-plenum residential and light commercial audio installations, this white-jacketed wire is suited for in-wall and surface-run speaker distribution where plenum-rated cable is not required. It is a standard choice for A/V integrators, low-voltage technicians, and custom installers routing audio signal from amplifiers or receivers to passive speakers throughout a structure.

This wire is intended for non-plenum spaces such as standard stud-wall cavities, conduit runs, and exposed surface applications in residential homes, small offices, and light commercial builds. The nestbox packaging allows the wire to feed out smoothly during long pulls, reducing kinking and tangling on the job. It is appropriate for multi-room audio systems, home theater speaker drops, and background music distribution in environments where plenum-rated cable is not mandated by local code.

Key Features

• 500-foot nestbox spool supports long continuous runs without mid-run splices
• White jacket blends with standard interior wall and trim finishes
• Non-plenum rated construction suitable for standard wall cavity installations
• Nestbox format feeds cleanly during pull, reducing tangles and job-site waste
• Packaged as a single unit for straightforward inventory and job costing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard non-plenum speaker wire for use in residential and light commercial audio distribution systems where local code permits non-plenum cable in the installation pathway.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified A/V integrator in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 640 for audio signal wiring. Confirm with the authority having jurisdiction that non-plenum cable is permitted in the intended raceway or wall cavity before running wire. De-energize all connected amplifiers and source equipment before terminating conductors. Do not run this cable in plenum air-handling spaces where plenum-rated cable is required by code.
